Al Fresco Milano, black truffle, Bruschetta, Gnocchi, lamb, Marsala wine, Parma ham, pecorino cheese, polenta crisp, Ricotta, Stracciatella
I was recently in Milan on a mainly art viewing trip, but of course one also has to eat. We managed to find a couple of restaurants with not only verdant gardens in which to enjoy the cool of the evening after a hard days gallerying, but amazing food too. Al Fresco was our favourite.
To start we had a couple of dishes to share.
Bruschetta topped with Ricotta Cheese, Anchovies and Sweet Onions pickled in Raspberry Vinegar.
A plate of the most tender Parma Ham served with Polenta Crispbread and pickled courgettes.
Then I had as a main course –
Potato Gnocchi with Baby Lamb Ragout, Pecorino Cheese and Black Truffle
Delicious……
………Jeanne had –
Pork Fillet cooked with Marsala Wine, Spinach, Pine-nut Cream, Pantelleria Raising and Lambrusco Vinegar…….
……….and Simon –
Maccheroni Pasta with Raw Tomatoes, Olives, Capers, Basil Cream and Buffalo Stracciatella Cheese
I will leave it to you to formulate and experiment with recipes for these dishes. Should I have a go myself and achieve success, you will be the first to know.
